The World Bank Institute’s Executive Development Programs are designed for business managers and public sector leaders working in emerging markets. Our programs guide participants through the creation and implementation of sustainable corporate strategies and development policies that create opportunities for the world’s four billion poor people to raise themselves out of poverty. Through a unique combination of cutting edge knowledge, insight on the global development agenda, World Bank Group expertise, and top-level private and public sector experience, each program provides a forum for the exchange and acquisition of global and local knowledge that can help shape corporate strategies.
